About Me
Hey there! My name's Laila Gamaleldin and I'm a 16 year old 11th grader at Modern English School, who is lucky enough to call Cairo my hometown. Significant Image
This image shows the Watts Towers, located in the Watts neighbourhood of Los Angeles. These massive structures, which are over 30 meters tall, were built by one man over the span of 33 years with nothing but a few simple tools. To me, these towers are the ultimate symbol of hard work, perseverance, and dedication- the three characteristics that I admire most. My goal in life is to build my own figurative Watts Towers. |

Favourite Literary Work
I'm an avid reader; the walls of my bedroom are made up of bookcases lined with rows upon rows of books. Out of all of them, my favourite has to be Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. The writing is very raw and the plot and themes have stuck with me for years. Universities I'm interested In
The top three universities I'm interested in attending are Brown University, UC Berkeley, and the University of Southern California. |
